Mongo Santamaria - Niña Bonita (Live)

Performance from the master "conguero" Mr. Mongo Santamaria at the Puerto Rico Heineken Jazzfest 1993. The festival honored Mongo Santamaria with a life achievement award and the festival was held in his honor. From my private collection. Enjoy.

Funny that the trumpeter is using that toilet thing (I don´t know the english word) as a cup^^

[boricuajazzz8]

That is not any toilet thing stupid, it's called a "plunger mute".

Excelente trompetista, hay que reconocerlo, pero ¿donde esta Mongo?

[boricuajazzz8]

Que mucho joden! Estupido en el video clip, Where's Waldo...

[DJcaliban]

you'd think a video of mongo santamaria playing might actually show mongo santamaria playing. but in this case, you'd be wrong.

@DJcaliban its a good thing that MONGOS trademark conga slaping is enough proof that he was indeed there and that we are bless to recognise that thunderous and hipnotizzzing slap..GOD bless you all..

[AYNAMAOK]

@DJcaliban i also agree with your opinion about not showing mongo its kinda disrespectfull not even one glimpse of him you can see him in the shadows almost.. now i wish the guy that took this video could explain to MONGO why he did not capture him in the video.? did he knew who mongo was or i should say is??now try this with any big stars like james brown, tom jones, fela kuti and you will see how long he would be on this job??.

@boricuajazzz8 would a plunger mute work on a toilet if you stuck a stick on it? stupid?
